Also this isn't a #brand

People freak out over gun-adjacent things in schools pretty randomly. 'Everyone in administration was an idiot' examples make it hard to see any racist influence.

it was only through this subforum that i found out that rachel dolezal is the way she is because of her insane family molesting her black siblings. that's the sort of thing that should be put at the forefront of the conversation, but the people who've obsessed about her for a year are just as nuts as she is

All these people that say this stuff about race, privlege and sit always seem to come from upper class backgrounds.

I googled where this original post came from and it seemed to direct me to her facebook page. (I feel like a loving stalker but she had it out in the open). In said page were pictures of her traveling around the world and in general acting like some sort of rich kid.

Which seems to be a stark contrast between the world where a lot of problems within criminal justice occur. I live in a poorer neighborhood (than the country/suburb I used to live in) in the greater Cincinnati area now, and I saw someone being arrested for the first time last night. (For dealing drugs). That is privileged as gently caress statement to type btw.

It just feels like these people with their problems and issues seems to be in a different world than the people I know. This ranges from the people I see working behind the counter at a Popeye's chicken, to my coworkers that didn't attend the sort of school this person went to.

i always keep forgetting about that piece of poo poo site. their thinkpieces are horrible even by thinkpiece standards, and i'm pretty sure they still have a weekly column written by bad_dominicana

this NYT article from six years ago is great

quote:

Young, Web-savvy and idealistic, she and two friends — Jennifer Bernstein and Mary Borkowski — wanted to create their generation’s version of cultural criticism, equally versed in Theodor Adorno and Britney Spears. Finding contributors was easy: their social circle was filled with overeducated, underemployed postgrads willing to work free to be heard on subjects like Kanye West’s effect on the proletarian meta-narrative of hip-hop.

They are. I think a way for the left to get out in front of these kinds of attacks (along with being the right thing to do) is open support for large scale reparations (along with repairing the rest of the damage capitalism did).

I think that's accurate. I mean there were various echoes of that sort of poo poo happening for a long time, but it wasn't really "mainstream" thought yet, and it wasn't held by upper class whites, blacks, lgbt etc at the time.

I'm still puzzled as to how the upper class white female blogger got into this sort of stuff though. (I'm using that as a stereotype, but I'm sure the thread knows exactly what I'm talking about).

personaly. i think its going out of style, the shittier people are getting replaced with smarter people who actualy know how to write critical stuff and not be didactic shitheads about everything. the mix of trump winning/poo poo actualy getting bad for everyone and clinton burning out badly trying to run soley on woke stuff is probably the death knell of it. it will exist still but its going out of fashion.

thinkpieces and condescending, surface-level social justice essays are still popular on a lot of sites, to the point where enough of them have transitioned to that style of writing in the past year or so. i wanna say that more people are tuning them out and they're starting to lose their effectiveness, but i thought that early last year as well and it's still going strong

i feel like the thinkpiece started in earnest on Thought Catalog and spread like a virus to everywhere else. somewhere down the line, definitely during obama's second term, it got mixed with Buzzfeed idpol bullshit and became what it is today. as for the "white upper class female blogger" getting into it, that's definitely a Jezebel thing

luckily, The New Inquiry has always been irrelevant

true. it seems its slowly dissipating in the nerd type websites. i think many have realized all that poo poo does is turn people off their causes and give the remaining GG/alt right dickheads ammo so they have lessend it. thankfully its being replaced by good sites like waypoint and glixel who know how to write critcal pieces.

"Politician X doesn't care about P.O.C. and women"

I think it's actually far more damaging to have people like this on "our" side, than any right winger within the GOP saying stupid poo poo. It feels like they routinely cock block any sort of progress that could be made in the field of healthcare, economic, educational and justice reform with their watered down version of being socially conscience.

At least the rich rear end in a top hat "gently caress you got mine" right wingers are easy to combat and unite against. These people are pretty successful in ensuring that any sort of progress can be legitimately made by dividing people up.

also I hope I'm not steering this thread too far off course. If need be it can be moved to "mock someone".
